Palestinian UN envoy slams Israel over Gaza
The Palestinian UN ambassador is accusing Israel's military forces of targeting civilians in Gaza and has described their deliberate killing and wounding as "terrorism."
Riyad Mansour told the UN Security Council on Thursday that "the international community must demand answers from Israel."
The UN Mideast envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, said 35 Palestinians have been killed and "large numbers" wounded by Israeli military forces since protests along the Gaza-Israel border began on March 30.
Mansour urged the Security Council to take immediate action "to de-escalate this dangerous situation."
